Product details

10Mbps open-collector digital isolator in 8-DIP

The 6N137VM is an onsemi single-channel optocoupler with an open-collector output, rated for 10Mbps data rate and 5000Vrms isolation voltage. It comes in an 8-DIP through-hole package (0.300-inch, 7.62mm pitch) and operates from a 4.5V to 5.5V supply on the output side. The 75ns max propagation delay (tpLH/tpHL) and 30ns/10ns typical rise/fall times give enough timing margin for 10Mbps serial links in PLC digital inputs, encoder interfaces, and isolated SMPS feedback paths.

5000Vrms isolation and industrial temperature range

With 5000Vrms isolation and a minimum common-mode transient immunity of 10kV/µs, the 6N137VM handles the noise transients common in motor-drive and inverter environments without corrupting the logic output.

Frequently asked questions

Can 6N137VM replace the standard 6N137?

Yes — the 6N137VM is a variant of the base 6N137 family (base product number 6N137). It shares the same pinout, 10Mbps data rate, open-collector output, and 8-DIP package. The 'VM' suffix indicates onsemi's specific ordering code; functionally it is a drop-in replacement for any 6N137 in the same package.
